Alaska General Seafoods was founded in 1961 in Neknek, Alaska. Originally called Nelbro Packing Company, the Nelson Brothers had been long time residents, and fisherman, in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Nelson Brothers started off with a packing plant in Seattle, where fish were chopped and hand packed in cans and bottles.
Today, Alaska General Seafoods is a subsidiary of the Jim Pattison Group. They operate two fisheries in Alaska and a packing plant which is open year round. At the peak of the season, the company employs more than 700 persons. The company also obtains wild salmon and herring from independent fisherman for processing and packing.
Alaska General Seafoods has recently expanded their production line to include frozen salmon filets, as well as boneless, skinless canned sockeye salmon.
